PRECEDING THE LONG ANTICIPATED RELEASE OF J. COLE'S "THE OFFSEASON," MATREAH TAKES THE CLASSIC "TALE OF 2 CITIEZ" BEAT PREVIOUSLY REMIXED BY KENDRICK LAMAR AND HE PAINTS A MURAL WITH IT. ENJOY AND LISTEN ON YOUTUBE FOR THE LYRICS.

LYRICS
ay fuck the industry these rappers manufactured, marketed, bought and sold (body and soul)
deceptive with their flesh but my sensors detect the clones
a tumor grow in the shadow an d length of kendricks control
but conception of this professions when this problem was born
army of oddities honest all of yall look like fair carnies, but this isnt fair hardly
a bar for every snare, my thoughts are trapped in prison
ayo my problems make me all your favorite rapper isnt
ay what i mean is i am opposite my opposition
and for them to want a match with me is fucking masochism
ay take it back when i slit my wrist as a little kid, cause misery is company
6 of my friends were misfits, 6 of them needed a hospital  6 of them were admitted
all because of genetics and some cause parents dismissed them, let me state that i miss them
yet i state inflential their wicked ways led me quick astray from innocence and happier days,
that is to say i think we differ in the paths that we take, i know some people play with needles
but there's no vaccination from the sickness 

we don't fuck with fake or faux or fabricated,
human that display of your hubris get you eradicated
mucus, my spit is mutinous, foolish to fool with i,
my drool is enough solution to liquefy humankind
medusa, move frugally when deciding to use your sight
for if you look at me cross, then you will get crucified
and i have no look alikes, so better you look alive,
and best that you look away from me, lest you should lose your life
and better yet, leg it, messi, or let it get messy, exit the premises  
before i set my m67 atop the mezzanine
powerful the hands with a rocket launcher
the rapidfire flow comparable to a concertstopper
i know you heard me
legend says a second excellent emcee is destined to persevere to the precipice just as death gives his second kiss 
eye at the dying lantern 
did i mention the cancer?
pray to god he don't answer
pray to god he don't answer

you might be right (p. dylvinci & mesa)

ig: @matreahthereedflute
I've got a swordfish for a loan shark. hear the panic when they- see the metal flash 💥
and they're screaming like it's Go-Karts
Squealing down the boulevard, this drill it sounds like Mozart 🔫
burn it down and make my LP sound like Linkin Park, let's go!
running with the jewels, that armored Benz replaced the metro 🚌




SWORDFISH_2

if a man falls

how.they.do?

drunk meditation 77mph (dont let me drive away)

its just a vent it got some mac miller vibes on that hook. ive been loving playing with vocal stacks. i love you if you love me fr.

ig: matreahthedisrobed

lyrics:
my dreams are plans of a castle built
Don’t let it get too factual
These walls are too collapsible,
Your love don’t get a pass for it
Cough up for real you asthmatic,
Or give me lonely passages
Sick of the law of averages
Sick of friendships with asterisks  
Sick of the law the batters me, dont you dare tell the crooks where im cooking should they soon ask for me. Tell em you’re looking  
Tell em I’m looking  
Damn it I’m crooked, confessions are wicked,  
Hope gods forgetful as his kid, hope yall dont remember this shit
Still cycles steady combat at me, peddle poetic elements sell me off your catastrophe
Figure up all the tax, am I distressing you mentally?
life is hard brass, get sick of witnessing that
I see the way words stab, I seen a friend throw jabs
I seen my mommas dad turn out like my dads dad.
I seen my heroes turn bad. I seen the woman desert
I see my loved ones been hurt. See lately I been reserved.
 
AND MAYBE ITS JUST THIS BLUNT IN MY MOUTH 
MAYBE ITS JUST THE SUN IN MY EYES


See it’s a little bit of both, I don’t have nothing to boast. When I’m drinking, it’s alone, who I’m sposed to give a toast to, love. 


What if the world lost its mountain or sky? What if a girl lost the brilliance behind?
What if a boy lost his hands and his sight? His effort, his try?

See I been separating myself from others cause how I felt was awkward, didnt fit, so I isolated myself from OTHERS
Like im like im, 
Like i thought that i was doing something
Life is better with some others
I just wanna be left alone sometimes, but other times, its best that I try to keep up. cause i cant keep up with myself, myself
somethings burning my mind

Silent 1800

late night vibes cause i'm "2up" hahaha i could sleep im sure ig: matreahthedisrobed
lyrics: too up, homie raise the two up
fighting for my life, never had to raise the tool up
but ain’t been tulips, it aint even been cool shit 
sit with all this pain, dont even know what to do with
Still we gotta be too up, when you’re up, is it too up?
What we do, what we do it for? These are only our human forms.
Everything I done I had done it for another.
I don’t even wanna pop out for the summer.

Thinking if I showed up to your city, you’d be on that shit
Sold that little golden chevy, aint a thing was wrong with it
It gave me a million miles of motion, making songs to it
 Im drawn to it
Drawing this shit, I’mma map it right out and market it
Im up, you cant get me
I aint get out the city, Imma bring out the city straight wit me
 With a white girl and she drink pink whitney
We get lifted, now it’s you, girl
I done got me too much, down this liquor, now it’s you girl																										
too up, homie raise the two up
fighting for my life, never had to raise the tool up
but ain’t been tulips, it aint even been cool shit 
sit with all this pain, dont even know what to do with
Still we gotta be too up, when you’re up, is it too up?
What we do, what we do it for? These are only our human forms.
Everything I done I had done it for another.
I don’t even wanna get up see my brother,
I dont wanna Pop out for the summer.

You dont vibe out for nothing
I was thinking maybe I’m ugly
You don’t wanna get up with me baby girl cause I’m a loser
Still we strike it up like it’s nothing
I was thinking maybe that’s something
Send it up to Jesus, I’m 2up like a g6
I’m 2up, like who need me
Seeing stars like anemic
I just wanna get rich and leave all this shit behind
If you aint got love for me then how are you someone I can sit behind
You wanna get lit, dont tempt me
I make it hit same way you met me

						
							
too up, homie raise the two up
fighting for my life, never had to raise the tool up

sit with all this pain, dont even know what to do with
Still we gotta be too up, when you’re up, is it too up?
What we do, what we do it for? These are only our human forms.
Everything I done I had done it for another.
I don’t even wanna get up do a damn thing

Another track from a session at Fatal Studios lol Maybe my favorite.
lyrics:
oh so you gon run away when you got way more to say
and you say that its the best for you, oh you dont wanna stay
whats next: another home, another state, another day unstable
can't sit still, you're unable, what a fun label
i just sit and scroll and read them texts
i been wondering whats next for you
your memory in my chest screaming whats left baby
shoulda kept my love kept to me, got a little taste of my recipe
i made it special, i cant correct you
you know, always got chronic in that bowl
i look like sonic skipping them hoes
somewhat in debt to you, i def could prove: aint deaf to your delights
more destitute
its best to prove that yes i seek your light
i need your fight
i need one night
i need them eyes
i know im right
i need a rise
got someone around, i need them around
i know i ran around and lied
its best to prove whats left of me is righteous
and i need me and you, it's tightknit
watching you go straight psycho, knowing i like it

pray for the sadists, i aint aim for domination
pray for my soul, pray for control
i aint mean to hit these hoes up
its all fate, i aint mean it baby
pray for our nation, pray for grace
that we reclaim it
i been tripping bout it
hurt my chick about it
gave my whole ass heart, had it ripped up out it
so you really bout it with me bitch, i doubt it
big ups, bitch i deal with mistrust
too many plates, bitch its mixed up
i been big stuck
reach to the lord, help me lift up
lift my mind up, bless my eyesight huh
god or women, whats the difference
both gave me wisdom, gave me riches
both was by my side when my mind had got twisted
running winded
whats the difference for me
god and women, whats the difference
heard you got something mindblowing for me
somethings going for me
little jezebel watch it sent straight to hell
lucky for me these losers get the L, illusions get dispelled
blowing memories with the shells
watching your energy get repelled
bitch you my enemy, thats how it felt
man i fell down my knees and i knelt to you
